I stopped by the house where we lived in when I was in elementary school. I found it strange that the neighborhood was mostly unchanged, despite the passage of nearly fifty years since the last time I was there. I also passed through Ellicott City. The land there has been developed, but the ruins of the old St. Charles College recreation hall remain and may now be rented out by Terra Maria neighborhood residents for events. They’ve even put in electricity for night use. I didn’t think to look for the grotto, but looking at a map of the neighborhood now I see there is a loop named Grotto Walk, so apparently it has been preserved as well. Perhaps I’ll check it out next time I’m passing through…
